Public bug reported:

It should be possible to have a static IPv4 address and a DHCP IPv6
address and vice versa. This does not work on SUSE distributions as the
"BOOTPROTO" setting in the generated ifcfg-* file is not correct.

The BOOTPROTO setting should be

dhcp - if both IPv6 and IPv4 configurations are expected to be supplied by a DHCP server
dhcp4 - if IPv4 configuration is expected to be supplied by a DHCP server, IPv6 configuration can be static
dhcp6 - IPv6 configuration is expected to be supplied by a DHCP server, IPv4 configuration can be static
static - if both IPv6 and IPv4 configurations are defined, or if only one protocol is used and the IP is static
